publisher’s greeting
Welcome to the Winter 2019/20 issue of Mountain Town Magazine. This magazine is about our passion for living within Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. It is a place of incredible beauty, filled with a multitude of recreational and lifestyle opportunities. The people who live here are tenacious, passionate and possess a high degree of determination, and perseverance. We live here because want to be here and we figure out how to make it work so we can stay living and loving each of our chosen Colorado Mountain Towns. Our opening feature is on Grand County. Local resident Christine Poyser has lived in and made the area her home for well over 7 years. This area is comprised of a multitude of towns and filled with a community of people who are a good example of those making it work in order to stay in a place they love. Being outdoors plays a huge role in the reason people chose to live at elevation. 365 days of vacation sits right outside our front and back doors. Access to trails is almost immediate and plays a big part in our day. Skiing and Snowboarding are what brings most of us to the mountains. It is a sport that takes hold of our hearts and we think about all summer long. The snow has been falling and the conditions are fantastic. Read how one friend has dedicated his life to getting in 100 days a season. There are so many talented folks within our communities; Artists, Chefs, Tech Geeks, Athletes, Moms, Dads, Philanthropists, Students, Entrepreneurs, Musicians, Brewers, Educators, Entertainers, the list is remarkable. In this issue, Mountain Town Magazine highlights some GREAT Restaurants, Cafes, and Eateries to experience in almost every town. Within our pages, we also cover Entrepreneurs, Gear, Family Fun, Events and Activities, Real Estate and more. If you love Colorado mountain towns then this magazine is for you! Now Get Out and Enjoy, Winter is Here!
